Move Over, Alfredo!

Okay, you've made the switch from pasta to zucchini, but what about your sauce?  Are you bored with your go-to red, tomato-based sauce?  Do you dream of thick and creamy alfredo sauce, like you used to eat before you actually cared about macronutrients?  Okay, maybe that's just me.

So imagine my delight when I came across this savory-looking pic...

DUDE!!!  I thought I was hallucinating when I saw that the recipe doesn't include butter or cream (which I love, but I know some people like to limit); instead the star of the show is CAULIFLOWER.

Somehow, Melissa of the "Cupcakes OMG" blog has created magic and I can't wait to try out this recipe!!!

I know how it goes, so no need to explain.  The Thanksgiving struggle is real, but I've got a little early present for you to help you get back on track.  I'm sure it will fit to a "T".  ;)
